Trump stuns with 'insane' Iran update on Fox & Friends
President Donald Trump lobbed a series of outrageous statements about the Iran war Thursday morning during a call to "Fox & Friends."The 79-year-old president phoned in to the show he regularly watches to provide an update on the war, which he has escalated in recent days in response to the downing of a U.S. Army helicopter, and he complained at length about media coverage of the conflict, saying that Iranian officials have told him they appreciate the assistance from American journalists."You read the Wall Street Journal, they had an editorial today [suggesting] we're not hitting them hard enough," Trump said, chuckling. "Not hitting them hard enough? We dropped $250 million of bombs on them last night – you know, the whole thing is crazy. They're really in submission. They just don't know it yet."Trump also claimed that he's growing less interested in reaching a peace deal and suggested he would like to escalate the war even further."I don't know if America has the appetite to do what I would really much prefer doing," he said. "You remember in Iraq, I said, 'Don't go in,' but they went in, they made a big mistake, it should have never – you know, that war lasted for 10 years. It killed tens of thousands of people, millions of people on both sides, millions of people – nobody ever reported that.""We've lost 13 soldiers in two wars. In Venezuela, we lost none, took over the country, and in Iraq -- in Iran we lost 13," he added. "In Vietnam, we lost hundreds of thousands, 19 years – nobody says that. They say, three months, you've been there for three months. They've gone crazy because I've been there for three months."The president's statements astounded observers."It was 58K in Vietnam," pointed out market analyst Chris Beauchamp, adding a vulgar acronym."If he were a serious person I would assume he means he would have approved the use of nuclear weapons," posted popular Bluesky user Philo of Alexan. "He is not a serious person, so this is just the usual Trump empty bragging.""We wasted $250 million to make gas prices in America even higher… is not the flex he thinks it is," opined Friendly Atheist blogger Hemant Mehta."We dropped 1/7th of Trump’s slush fund on Iran last night," said political scientist Michael McDonald."To put this $250 million figure in context, that's the cost of 31 no-bid fountain repairs," noted the Majority Democrats' account."This would have fed and housed thousands of Americans," sighed widely followed X user Molly Ploofkins."Last week they cut $200 million from the WIC program to help pregnant women afford food," added Rep. Seth Magaziner (D-RI)."Trump bragging about literally lighting our tax dollars on fire in his idiotic war as Republicans start pushing for even more Medicaid cuts," snarled popular X user Jesse Lee."Legitimately impressed in our collectively rationalize away the fact that the president is insane," marveled political scientist Josh Zingher. "We experiencing a level of mass delusion most societies could only dream of."

MAGA official accuses Trump of meddling in county elections: report
President Donald Trump is apparently tampering so thoroughly in elections that even a staunchly MAGA official is raising alarms about it.“[Maricopa County Attorney Rachel] Mitchell garnered national attention after Senate Republicans tapped her to question Christine Blasey Ford during Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation process after Ford alleged that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her as a teenager,” wrote MS NOW’s Ja'han Jones on Wednesday. “Kavanaugh has flatly denied the allegation.”Yet despite Mitchell’s impeccable MAGA credentials, including endorsing Trump’s 2024 campaign, Jones reported that she has filed a lawsuit against America First Legal, White House adviser Stephen Miller’s right-wing activist group that is trying to make sure Trump does not lose control of Congress during the 2026 midterm elections.“The office is led by Justin Heap, who has egged on the Trump administration’s push to acquire sensitive voter data in Arizona,” Jones reported. “And the disturbing context to all this is Trump has openly declared that Republicans should nationalize voting processes and ‘take over the voting’ in several cities — like Phoenix, perhaps.”Jones added, “In a June 8 legal filing, Mitchell’s lawyers asked Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Scott Blaney to rein in Recorder Justin Heap’s politically connected firm, the America First Legal Foundation, which it said has undertaken ‘an unprecedented power grab.’” Her lawyers argued that “the Recorder lacks any explicit or implicit statutory authority to hire outside counsel — let alone a partisan organization — to serve as in-house counsel on ‘all’ matters under his ‘purview.’”Overall Jones concluded, “The fact that even conservative officials are sounding the alarm here shows how extreme, unprecedented and potentially threatening to democracy this situation could prove to be.”Speaking with AlterNet earlier this month, Common Cause Senior Policy Director for Voting and Fair Representation Dan Vicuña said that Trump’s various voter repression policies — including trying to stop mail-in voting, demanding voter files, gerrymandering, supporting voter ID laws and stating he will deploy law enforcement to voting places — are all part of a larger plan to steal the midterms. Common Cause is a nonprofit good government group with a distinguished pedigree tracing back to 1970.“What they all add up to is a desire to avoid any accountability to the voters in the midterm elections — to ensure, to preordain the outcome of a midterm that he thinks is going to go badly for him,” Vicuña told AlterNet. “We know, from the Big Lie of the 2020 election to spurring on a violent revolt to overthrow a free and fair election, that he has no respect for democratic norms, for the voice of the people. This is entirely about his own power and his own ego. He will even invest in protecting that ego and protecting his power at the expense of the needs of the public. People are suffering with high gas prices and affordability issues, and he does not care. All that matters is protecting his power, and he has no interest in whether he does that through democratic means.”

'But — but Iran!' Trump's rigged-election rant hijacks Fox News war interview
Asked Thursday about bombing Iran's civilian water supply on Fox News, Donald Trump launched into a minutes-long rant about rigged elections instead.Brian Kilmeade, the Fox News host who fielded Trump's call-in, had framed the water strike in approving terms — describing the U.S. campaign as an "Anaconda" strategy squeezing Iran into submission. But when he pointed out that American strikes had hit a water facility serving a population already running out of water, Trump changed the subject.The strike Kilmeade referenced had, the night before, knocked out drinking water for roughly 20,000 residents in the southern Iranian town of Sirik — during a heat wave pushing temperatures above 113 degrees. Weapons experts told CNN the munitions appeared to be US-made GBU-39 precision-guided bombs. The New York Times reported the strike may constitute a war crime; the Geneva Conventions explicitly protect drinking water installations from attack.Trump had other priorities."'In 2020, I got more votes than anybody in history, Republican Party,'" he told Kilmeade. "'And we got more votes, but the election was rigged.'"From there, Trump pivoted to the California governor's race, where his endorsed candidate, Steve Hilton, had just secured a spot on the November ballot against Democrat Xavier Becerra. Trump claimed he personally forced California officials to "approve" Hilton after going "on a tear" about election fraud — a claim with no factual basis. PolitiFact rated Trump's broader assertion that California's ballot-counting pace proved cheating as "Pants on Fire." Hilton advanced because he got enough votes under the state's standard counting procedures."'But — but Iran!" Kilmeade interjected, but Trump kept going."'It's a rigged election. Okay,'" Trump said.Kilmeade muttered he shouldn't have brought up the election at all. Trump, apparently satisfied, finally relented."'Let's get back to Iran,'" he said. "'Much simpler. It's a much simpler situation.'"Whether bombing a civilian water supply in 113-degree heat qualifies as simpler is a question international law experts are now actively debating.
